Capturing
life's special
moments
TRAVELLING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. BASED IN CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA.
Each person has a story to tell, and I make it my goal to help you tell it. Natural light is my specialty and I love places that mean something to you. I crave adventure, excitement, and love, and a session with me will encourage you to share that side of you. You have full permission to be completely yourself, as I will be too! I hope to see what makes your eyes light up, and your heart burst with joy. I want to capture the real YOU.
WEDDINGS
Your wedding day isn't about your pictures. Your pictures are about your wedding day.
When you're just living life, are fully present on your wedding day, and soaking up every moment, your wedding photos will reflect that.
Imagine looking through your final wedding gallery and it's full of emotion, nostalgia, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. Instead of a shot list, you focus on connection. Instead of prioritizing formal photos, you're spending quality time with people that are so important to you that you invited them to be a part of the best chapter of your life yet. It's not about the schedule, the events, the expectations.. it's about your souls uniting. It's about experiencing your wedding, not controlling it. It's about LOVE.
I want to tell your story in a way that honours not only your love story, but the incredible people in your lives that helped write that story. You deserve this.

FAQ
Is an engagement session important?
Engagement sessions are SO awesome as it is a great way to have a chance to work with your photographer before the big day. You will learn how we work together, become comfortable with the posing prompts used on your wedding day, and create a great bond and comfortability between us. I strongly encourage couples to choose a location that has a special meaning, or take part in an activity that you enjoy doing together!
Do you work with a second photographer?
I typically work alone, but I do have the option to add on an additional photographer. I always am sure to bring along another photographer who works well with me, and has a similar approach and personality as me! I do work fantastic alone though and have mastered the art of being in the right place at the right time. Chat with me further to see if a second photographer is a good fit for you!
What packages do you offer?
I have both hourly packages and an "all-inclusive" option when it comes to wedding photography. My favourite option is all-day coverage! As a storyteller, I need to be there to document each part of the day. This allows me to create a visual storyline of all the special moments you experience. You will have me by your side from the last few touches of getting ready in the morning, all the way to the first bit of dancing. Each image included will tell a part of the story so that you can completely relive your day. My documentary approach allows you to fully be in the moment and not miss a single second of this special day. Allow yourself to be fully immersed in everything you're feeling and trust that I am there to document all the big and small moments, and everything in between.
How long does a full gallery take?
Sneak peeks are delivered within 1 week and the full gallery is ready within 6 weeks typically - though I always aim for sooner!
Are you more candid or posed?
I shoot in a documentary style throughout the day, and utilizing prompts and connection to create beautiful portraits for you and your loved ones. This approach brings out so much emotion in the images, that you will realize there are no "bad" angles of you. You will become so comfortable in front of the camera, not even realizing that I am there! I focus on movement, interaction, & prompting you to have fun together and be in the moment. This results in you fully enjoying each moment as it happens, and me being able to gift you with authentic images that help you relive the day. No awkward poses here!
Can a wedding date be held until we decide?
All bookings are first come first serve. I book your date tentatively, and contacts/retainers are due within one week of being received. Dates are not secured until a deposit AND contract has been returned to me!
What is your payment schedule for a wedding?
To secure your date, a retainer of 50% of the total investment is required at the time of booking, with 25% of the total balance being non-refundable. The remaining balance is due 1 week before your wedding date. If more time is needed, a payment schedule can be arranged. Please ask for more details if this option interests you!
What form of payment methods do you accept?
For smaller sessions - cash and e-transfer are accepted. For weddings - e-transfer is preferred, but credit card is also accepted. Credit card is subject to a 3% service fee. Payment plans are also available upon request.
Can we schedule a time to chat over video or in person?
100%!!! I am ALWAYS down to meet for coffee or chat over video to discuss wedding plans and your big vision. Let's schedule something! Don't worry, this is 100% no-obligation.
Will you refer to my wedding Pinterest board for images that I would like?
I would love to see what brings you inspiration for your day, but I never copy images and use my gut to guide the day with you! Pinterest is a great source for inspiration for your big day, but that's only what it should be used for. Capturing how the day unfolds naturally creates authentic and genuine images of how your day went. I often use photos for prompt and posing inspiration, but will allow my creativity and the moment to dictate how an image is created. No 2 weddings are ever alike, as are no 2 galleries. Your gallery will be unique to YOU and YOUR love!
Will you edit the photos in the way we like the most?
My editing style reflects my artwork and personality within the images. I will not edit images in any other way than how I feel the most comfortable. I am a true-to-colour artist, which means I want to provide you with a gallery that visually looks exactly as you remember the day unfolding. This creates timeless, beautiful images that look great on any wall. I will use the light as is, embrace all weather and environments, and make sure that everything flows seamlessly. Nature is not consistent or coherent, so neither are my galleries. Different light and different scenes create different visuals, bring you right back to how the moment really looked. My goal is for you to feel as if you are right there, back in the moment. My approach and editing style will allow you to relive the day exactly as you remember.
Can we be friends?
DUH! Yes!!! Let's follow each other on Instagram and hangout! I'm here to help you plan, hangout with you during this whole process, and enjoy each moment we are together. It is SOOOO important to feel comfortable with your photographer, so make sure you love my outgoing and fun personality as we will be spending lots of time together! 🙂
